CH 398

Andrew didn’t understand, he already used his full strength and wanted to take Lin Xiao’s head, so why did he just all of a sudden jump headfirst into a storm of mystic missiles?

No, no, that’s not important, more importantly… why can Lin Xiao cast seventh-level magic?

Andrew was sure this time that there were no scrolls, no tricks. Lin Xiao just snapped and instantly cast seventh-level magic, there was no doubt, that proved that he was a genuine seventh-level magician and one that was proficient in instant cast!

My god…. how was he a normal youth, he’s a complete monster!

Is he even human?

Andrew was even more shocked than Claire, but he realized he had no time to panic, because he was about to lose his life!

Mystic missile was similar to magic missile in both appearance and name, they were both purple light balls that were clear, like glass marbles that kids played, they were very beautiful.

But… mystic missile and magic missile, just one word made a world of difference.

Each one may look like a toy, but they all had hidden power. It wasn’t normal magic power but pure mystic power, otherwise, Andrew wouldn’t have given up his attack and used his axe as a shield.

Every time the ball exploded on his axe, he could feel the intense swirl of power, the pure mystic power didn’t have too much destructive power, but it could disrupt his aura so that he couldn’t use his power. That strange mystic power could easily penetrate his defensive aura and directly his his body. If he was even a bit careless, there would be irreversible consequences.

He couldn’t just let it go on like this… Andrew decided to think of something!

Now that he was in midair and being shot at by Lin Xiao, he was just a human target that couldn’t do anything and it was like Lin Xiao’s magic was limitless as he continued to play with him.

Rather than be a sitting duck, he would rather attack!

“Hyahhh!!”

With a yell, Andrew’s huge body fell to the ground creating two craters underneath his feet. With that fast descent, he was able to evade those countless missiles that couldn’t change direction in time.

A chance!

Andrew knew that victory or defeat was all up to this!

Lin Xiao was unquestionably strong, beyond all expectations. It was no wonder how he was so calm and arrogant, because he had the strength to back it up!

However… even if that was the case, it didn’t mean that Andrew had no chance of winning!

Andrew made up his mind to take this only opportunity after he landed… although the mystic missiles were fast and numerous, but they also had their drawbacks, they were extremely difficult to control!

He fell extremely quickly and Lin Xiao didn’t have enough time to change directions, now there were only tens of meters between them with no defense!

As long as he took advantage of this gap, he could finish Lin Xiao off!

“Red Moon Cleave!”

It had to be said, Andrew was really an experienced fox, he took advantage of his opponent’s only gap, if it were any other normal seventh-level magician, they surely would have died… but Lin Xiao wasn’t normal.

Lin Xiao didn’t excel just because of his abundance of magic power, that was just a strength that wasn’t worth mentioning, what he excelled at was how effortlessly and precisely he could control magic!

“Oh, I didn’t go catch you, so now you’re coming to me yourself?”

Lin Xiao chuckled when he saw that Andrew didn’t retreat after landing, then he simply pointed his index finger down.

Suddenly all the balls of light abruptly stopped and the strange mystic power became abnormal because of the sudden order and the trembling energies all intensely resonated making a humming sound.

Just as Andrew said, mystic energy was far harder to control than normal magic and slow to change, but… in Lin Xiao’s hands, no matter how much these missiles complained, they still had to obey their master’s orders!

“W-what?”

Andrew had thought that Lin Xiao lost control of the magic, but he was stunned when he looked up.

The missiles suddenly made a sharp turn in midair and dropped straight down!

How is that possible? Andrew has never in his life seen someone control magic like that!

Not just that, other than those missiles above him, Lin Xiao shot out more missiles from in front, completely sealing all his escape paths!

“Damn!”

Faced against a crisis, Andrew could only give up his attack and used his red moon cleave as defense. One chop against the night sky wiped out the missiles that were raining down.

But it wasn’t over… the purple mist enshrouded him and its mystic power continued to erode his aura.

At the same time, two more missiles were flying right towards him!

“Ahhh!!!”

Andrew yelled out and threw his axe colliding it against one of them causing it to explode along with the weapon that was crafted with fine steel.

But there was still a second one…

Lin Xiao only shot two missiles, seemingly ordinary, but was extremely tricky. One broke Andrew’s weapon, and the other would take his life!

Without his weapon, Andrew was but a pig to be slaughtered…

That crystal clear small purple ball of light gently smashed into Andrew’s thick shoulder and shattered, then a strange mystic energy seeped out and easily perforated his Aura and melded with his flesh.

Initially, Andrew didn’t even realize, he just felt his body get lighter and he thought he was able to avoid the missile. So he quickly retreated and jumped tens of meters away landing into the pitch-black forest.

But he forgot something.

“What? … My a-arm!?”

He was able to escape but his right arm was eroded by the mystic energy. It happened so quickly that there was no blood and before he could even yell out in pain his entire arm left his shoulder and said goodbye to him forever.

“Ahhh!!!”

A wretched yell came from a nearby part in the forest when he landed.

“Lin Xiao! Remember this! I’ll kill you one day! I’ll kill youuu!!!!”

“Phew… I wanted to take a leg, but I took an arm, what a miscalculation.”

Even if it was a complete victory, he was strict with himself and found where he was lacking.

“Well whatever, I wasn’t really trying.” He clapped his hands like he was just finished warming up.

“Now then… hehe, Claire?”

“Hm?”

“I chased Andrew away, so it’s my win.” Lin Xiao quickly walked over and squatted down in front of her.

“O-oh…” Claire instinctively closed her legs and scooched her butt back.

“Stop running, just resign yourself.”

“Lin Xiao… y-you’re really going to… going to…”

Even now she still couldn’t thoroughly recognize reality… Lin Xiao actually beat Andrew and even took an arm, that was unimaginable.

So now without Andrew, it was Lin Xiao’s turn?

“Do you still have hopes? Don’t be dumb, I’m a normal man, should I not lust for you?”

“I…”

Because she received too much of a shock, she couldn’t even cry anymore, she lost all her spirit in her eyes and didn’t respond to Lin Xiao.

“Uh, you didn’t get scared stupid, right? Forget it, no more fooling around… hey! Claire, if you don’t want to die then stand up!”

“Ah?”

Claire obediently stood up like an injured bunny after hearing his orders.

“Hand.”

“Oh.”

“Claire, I’m only going to say this once… from now on you have to hug me tightly and don’t let go, do you understand?”

“Yes.” Claire nodded and walked behind him then hugged his waist.

Lin Xiao said that he had numerous novelty ways of playing, so which one was he planning to use with her?

“Tomboy, you’re pretty cute when you’re obedient. Sigh, if you were like that before, then I wouldn’t have to purposely scare you.”

As if feeling guilt for his joke that clearly went overboard, Lin Xiao cleared his throat and patted the back of her hand to console her then silently looked around and got ready.

The fight with Andrew was just an appetizer, the main dish was finally being served!

“Is it finally here…”

Within the darkness, countless unknown monsters quietly emerged densely packed together.
